How do they work? And are they really safe? Keep on reading to know all about threads and to find out if you would make a good candidate for a thread lift treatment.
What are they?
Facial threads or a thread lift is a type of treatment wherein temporary threads are used to produce a subtle but visible “lift” in the skin. Instead of removing the patient’s loose facial skin surgically, the specialist dermatologist simply suspends it by stitching up portions of it. This has the effect of pulling the skin back slightly and therefore lifting and tightening the face. In addition to being ideal for lifting the skin, threads combat aging in another way: by provoking the body’s “healing response” and causing the body to direct large amounts of collagen to the treated areas. This is important because of the vital role collagen plays in the aging process.
How is the treatment done?
The treatment is done by inserting tiny threads, which enables the specialist dermatologist to pull different parts of the skin on your face or neck which creates the desired lift
As the thread is drawn tight, invisible, painless “barbs” grab hold of your skin to ensure that the thread is holding your underlying tissue and muscles.
Your body starts to recover itself once a barbed thread is implanted. The threads under your skin don’t hurt you, but your body recognizes a suture and increases the creation of collagen where it is present. Collagen can close holes in drooping skin and give your face a more elastic and young appearance.
How long do results last?
The results of a thread lift are not intended to be permanent, Successful results often last between one and three years.
The threads utilized will eventually be absorbed by the tissue beneath your skin.
Facial threads VS Botox?
